- the side of the surface by which the sound absorbing body is attached to that apparatus is colored, so when attaching the sound absorbing body to that apparatus, it is possible to arrange it without making an error in the sound absorbing body attachment surface.
- the colored surface side of the sound absorbing body is hidden by being attached to the apparatus, it is not possible to visually recognize the colored surface. Because of that, it is not particularly necessary to restrict the color used for coloring, and it is possible to use an inexpensive coloring material.

- the sound absorbing body 200 is an item for which fibers are the main constituent, and for example, is an item attached to the surface of a case member of an apparatus, for absorbing noise generated from the apparatus (doing sound absorption).
- FIG. 1A is a lateral cross section view. As shown in FIG. 1A , the density differs between one surface side and the other surface side in the thickness direction T of the rectangular solid form sound absorbing body 200 , and the color also differs between one surface and the other surface.
- the sound absorbing body 200 is formed as one unit (one item), and the one surface 200 a side in the thickness T direction of that sound absorbing body 200 is the dense part 210 with the high density, and the other surface 200 b side is the non-dense part 200 with lower density than the dense part 210 . Then, the dense part 210 includes many fibers with shorter fiber length than the non-dense part 220 .
- the sound absorbing body 200 constituted in this way, for example, when sound enters from the non-dense part 220 , the entered sound passes through the non-dense part 220 and is reflected by the dense part 210 . Then, the reflected sound is again propagated in the non-dense part 220 . Then, the sound is attenuated by this process. By doing this, it is possible to obtain a sound absorption effect.
- the sound absorbing body 200 is an item formed from a mixture including cellulose fiber, molten resin, and flame retardant, and the density of the non-dense parts 220 and the dense parts 210 is stipulated by the density of at least one of the cellulose fiber, the molten resin, or the flame retardant.
- the cellulose fiber is an item for which a pulp sheet or the like is fibrillated into fiber form using a dry type defibrating machine such as a rotary crushing device, for example.
- the molten resin is an item that binds between cellulose fibers, maintains suitable strength (hardness or the like) for the sound absorbing body 200 , prevents paper powder and fiber from scattering, and contributes to maintaining the shape of the sound absorbing body 200 .
- the molten resin it is possible to use various modes such as fiber form, powder form and the like. Then, by heating the mixture with cellulose fiber and molten resin mixed, it is possible to melt the molten resin, and to fuse the cellulose fibers and harden them.
- the molten resin be in a fiber form that easily entwines with cellulose fibers in the fibrillated material.
- the flame retardant is an item added to give flame resistance to the sound absorbing body 200 .
- the flame retardant for example, it is possible to use inorganic materials such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and the like, or phosphorous based organic materials (e.g. aromatic phosphate such as triphenylphosphate or the like).
- the sound absorbing body 200 forming method for example, a mixture for which cellulose fiber, molten resin, and flame retardant are mixed are placed in a sieve, and this is deposited on a mesh belt arranged beneath the sieve to form a deposit. At this time, for example, depositing is done while suctioning using a suction device. By doing this, it is possible to deposit while biasing the short fibers to one surface side, and to form the dense part at one surface side. Then, the formed deposited substance undergoes pressurization heat treatment. By doing this, the molten resin is melted, and this is formed to a desired thickness. Furthermore, by die cutting to a desired dimension, the sound absorbing body 200 is formed.
- FIG. 1B is a plan view of the sound absorbing body 200 seen from one surface 200 a side
- FIG. 1C is a plan view of the sound absorbing body 200 seen from the other surface 20013 side.
- the color is different with the one surface 200 a and the other surface 200 b .
- coloring is implemented on the one surface 200 a .
- coloring is implemented on the surface corresponding to the dense part 210 .
- the cellulose fiber, molten resin, or flame retardant is colored.
- As a coloring agent for example, it is possible to suitably use carbon black, a pigment power or the like.
- the coloring method is not particularly restricted. For example, it is possible to do coloring by depositing a mixture for which cellulose fiber, molten resin, and flame retardant are mixed on a colored layer for which a coloring agent was laminated, and by doing pressurization heat treatment of the deposited material made by the colored layer and the mixture. Also, after the sound absorbing body 200 is formed, it is possible to color the one surface 200 a using a printing device, or to write using spraying or various writing instruments or the like. Also, as the coloring method, it is possible to color the entire one surface 200 a , or to implement coloring on only a portion of the one surface 200 a . Also, coloring can be constituted using only one color, or with a plurality of colors.
- a symbol is not particularly restricted as long as it is colored, including letters, numbers, marks or the like. It is also possible to note as a symbol the specified position and sequence for attaching to the apparatus. By working in this way, it is possible to improve workability.
- FIG. 1D is a pattern diagram showing the method of attaching the sound absorbing body 200 to an apparatus M.
- the surface corresponding to the dense part 210 of the sound absorbing body 200 specifically, the one surface 200 a
- the case surface 1 a of the case member 1 of the apparatus M is attached to the case surface 1 a of the case member 1 of the apparatus M. Therefore, the other surface 200 b corresponding to the non-dense part 220 is arranged on the front surface side.
- the one surface 200 a in relation to the dense part 210 is attached to the apparatus M side, so sound easily passes through from the non-dense part 220 which is the front surface side, and it is possible to do sound absorption. Furthermore, because coloring is implemented on the one surface 200 a side which is the surface of the sound absorbing body 200 attached to the apparatus M, when attaching the sound absorbing body 200 to the apparatus M, it is possible to prevent making errors in the attachment surface of the sound absorbing body 200 . Also, the colored one surface 200 a is hidden from the surface of the sound absorbing body 200 by being attached to the apparatus, so it is no longer possible to visually recognize the colored surface. Because of this, there is no longer a need to specifically limit the color for coloring, and it is possible to use inexpensive coloring materials.
- FIG. 2 is a cross section diagram showing the constitution of the printer.
- the printer 10 of this embodiment performs printing by giving an impact using a printing wire (not illustrated) provided inside the printing head 3 via an ink ribbon 13 on printing paper 6 as a printing medium arranged between a platen 2 and the printing head 3 .
- the printing paper 6 is fed from the paper feeding port 7 provided in the case 1 of the printer 10 and wound on the platen 2 , printing is performed by the printing head 3 (in addition to numbers, letters and the like, this is a broad concept also including printing graphs using dots or the like), and the paper is ejected from a paper ejection port 9 .
- a carriage 4 can be guided by a guide shaft 5 and moved in the axial direction.

Furthermore, the sound absorbing body 200 is also arranged on the cover 11 corresponding to above the printing head 3 .

By doing this, it is possible to attenuate the sound. Then, it is possible to increase the sound absorption effect without making the thickness of the sound absorbing body 200 thicker.
- the sound absorbing body 200 is constituted as one unit. Specifically, it is formed as an integrated unit. Because of that, for example compared to an item for which the dense parts 210 and the non-dense parts 220 are formed separately and alternately laminated, management of the adhesion of the lamination boundaries and the like is unnecessary, and it is possible to perform handling easily.
- Coloring is implemented on the one surface 200 a corresponding to the dense part 210 of the sound absorbing body 200 , so it is easy to distinguish between the one surface 200 a and the other surface 200 b . By doing this, when attaching to some type of apparatus or device, it is possible to prevent making an error in the attachment direction of the sound absorbing body 200 .

- the surface corresponding to the dense part 210 of the sound absorbing body 201 specifically, the one surface 201 a , is attached to the case surface 1 a of the case member 1 of the apparatus M. Therefore, the other surface 201 b corresponding to the non-dense part 220 is arranged on the front surface side.
- the one surface 201 a in relation to the dense part 210 is arranged on the apparatus M side, so sound easily passes through from the non-dense part 220 which is the front surface side, and it is possible to do sound absorption. Also, because coloring is implemented on the other surface 201 b side which is the front surface side of the sound absorbing body 201 in relation to the apparatus M, when attaching the sound absorbing body 201 to the apparatus M, it is possible to prevent making errors in the attachment surface of the sound absorbing body 201 .

Also, it is not necessary to do separate coloring after the sound absorbing body 202 is formed, so it is possible to reduce the man hours.
- a pulp sheet cut into several cm using a cutting machine was fibrillated into floc using a turbo mill (made by Turbo Kogyo Co., Ltd.).
- coloring agent was deposited on a mesh belt. Then, 100 weight parts of cellulose fiber, 15 weight parts of molten fiber, and 5 weight parts of flame retardant were air mixed, and the mixed mixture C1 was passed through a sieve and deposited on the coloring agent deposited material. At this time, so that the flame retardant that was smaller than the cellulose fibers and molten resin, as well as cellulose fibers of shorter length among the cellulose fibers, would be gathered at the lower side, depositing on the mesh belt was done while controlling suction using a suction device. Then, the deposited deposit substance underwent pressurization heat treatment at 200° C. After that, this was cut to ⁇ 29 mm and 10 mm thick to form sound absorbing body A.
- the density of the one surface side and the other surface side in the thickness direction were not uniform, but rather the density of the lower layer side corresponding to the one surface side deposited on the mesh belt side was 0.17 g/cm 3 , and the density of the upper layer side corresponding to the other surface side was 0.15 g/cm 3 , and the density of the lower layer side corresponding to the one surface side was higher than the density of the upper layer side corresponding to the other surface side. Also, many shorter length cellulose fibers and shorter length molten resin were distributed on the lower layer side corresponding to the one surface side. Then, coloring was implemented on the high density one surface side.
- a mixture C2 for which 100 weight parts of cellulose fiber, 25 weight parts of molten fiber (average fiber length 3 mm), 10 weight parts of flame retardant, and 3 weight parts of coloring agent were air mixed was formed.
- mixture C3 for which 100 weight parts of cellulose fiber, 15 weight parts of molten fiber (average fiber length 5 mm), and 10 weight parts of flame retardant were air mixed was formed. Then, without using a suction device, these were deposited on the mesh belt. First, the mixture C2 was passed through a sieve and allowed to fall freely, and it was deposited by its own weight on the mesh belt.
- the mixture C3 was passed through a sieve facing above the deposited mixture C2 and allowed to fall freely, with the mixture C3 deposited by its own weight on the mixture C2. Then, the deposited deposit material underwent pressurization heat treatment at 200° C. After that, this was cut to ⁇ 29 mm and 10 mm thick to form sound absorbing body B.
- the density of that sound absorbing body B was measured, the density of the one surface side and the other surface side in the thickness direction were not uniform, but rather the density of the lower layer side corresponding to the one surface side deposited on the mesh belt side (0.17 g/cm 3 ) was higher than the density of the upper layer side corresponding to the other surface side (0.15 g/cm 3 ). Also, many shorter length cellulose fibers and shorter length molten resin were distributed on the lower layer side corresponding to the one surface side. Furthermore, coloring was implemented on the lower layer side.
- cellulose fiber 100 weight parts of cellulose fiber, 15 weight parts of molten fiber, and 5 weight parts of flame retardant were air mixed, and the mixed mixture C1 was passed through a sieve and deposited. At this time, depositing was done on a mesh belt while controlling suction using a suction device. Then, the deposited deposit material underwent pressurization heat treatment at 200° C. After that, this was cut to ⁇ 29 mm and 10 mm thick to form sound absorbing body R.
- the density of the one surface side and the other surface side in the thickness direction were not uniform, but rather the density of the lower layer side corresponding to the one surface side deposited on the mesh belt side was 0.17 g/cm 3 , and the density of the upper layer side corresponding to the other surface side was 0.15 g/cm 3 , and the density of the lower layer side corresponding to the one surface side was higher than the density of the upper layer side corresponding to the other surface side.
- the sound absorbing body 200 , 201 , and 202 were a rectangular solid, but the invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to have a notch or recess in a portion of the rectangular solid, or to have a circular arc part or a sloped part rather than a rectangular solid.
- lamination was done such that the thickness of the layer corresponding to the non-dense parts 220 was thicker than the thickness of the layer corresponding to the dense parts 210 , but the invention is not limited to his constitution.
- the thickness of the layer corresponding to the non-dense parts 220 be the same thickness as the thickness of the layer corresponding to the dense parts 210 . Even when set in this way, it is possible to increase the sound absorbing effect.
- densities are numbers for the greatest locations and the least locations.
- the pulp sheet includes wood pulp such as of conifer trees, broad leafed trees and the like, non-wood plant fibers such as of hemp, cotton, kenaf and the like, and used paper and the like.
- cellulose fiber was the main constituent, but as long as it is a material that absorbs sound, and can be given density differences, this is not limited to cellulose fiber. It is also possible to use fiber with a raw material of a plastic such as polyurethane or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or the like, or another fiber such as wool or the like.
- a plastic such as polyurethane or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or the like
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- the method for forming the sound absorbing body is not limited to the method noted with the embodiments noted above. As long as the features of this application can be presented, another manufacturing method such as a wet method or the like can also be used.
- the printer 10 as an example of the device for attaching the sound absorbing body 200 , 201 , and 202 , but the invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to use this on other various devices.
- the type of apparatus for attaching the sound absorbing body 200 , 201 , and 202 for example, it is also possible to attach to the printing head 3 of the printer 10 in FIG. 2 .
